Hi all,
I've been mostly lurking for a bit now but I thought I share something I found and see what the rest of ya think. IMDB.com has Zoe and Wash listed as Zoe Warren and Wash as Jerry Lee "Wash" Warren. Anebody know how accurate that is? The site already has Kaylee, Jayne and Inara's full names properly, so does this mean these are right too? Could this be something we were going to see in one of the unaired three?
What do you think?

I think it's a bunch of damned lies! Lies, I say!! Lies!



Warren, maybe, but as Unofficial Thread Editrix for "Alan is Hottie!" I say "Boo hiss" to Jerry Lee. Jerry Lee my foot.

And as to whether or not The Missing Three will tell us anything, there's a gag reel clip that says "This message is for Zoe. And for Malcolm Reynolds." No! Last! Name!

Bring it.

Sarah,

Why are you so adamant about not even entertaining the thought that Wash and Zoe's last names could be Warren and Wash's first and middle name being Jerry Lee?

Well, the Warren part I don't have that big a problem with.

But, and this is no secret, I'm deeply in love with Wash. And his name just isn't Jerry Lee. It's a hillbilly name is he's not a hillbilly. I know this in my heart.

And I'd love to be proven wrong. When all this gets sorted out in movies or a miniseries or whatnot and it turns out his name really is Jerry Lee "Wash" Warren, I'll be the first one to eat my shoe.

But right now: Lies!

Maybe Wash just doesn’t have a last name. It's 500 years in the future, who knows what's going on. Maybe everyone's legal last name is just full of a bunch of numbers like our SS#. People only have spoken last names for the same reason people have middle names-- for no real reason. Just to pass on family heritage, and for something that sounds sweet after your first name. Just an idea.

Jayne: Hey, I didn't fight in no war. Best of luck, though.

Okay. At least (If it's true.) you are willing to admit falt. Another question, will you sitll love him if his name is hillbilly Jerry Lee?

Interesting theory. So what's your numerical last name? Mine, I'm leaning tward 174 or 656.

I'm thinking I'm Kaythryn 008. The original Bond's sidekick. License to kill.
That might come in handy if we raid FOX for those unaired eps.
Ah, what wishful thinking.

I'm with Sarah on this one:

LIIIIIIEES!

And anyways, Buffyscripts.net posted the original shooting script for OMR, and Mal says Kaylee, NOT JERRY LEE! NO HILLBILLY WASH!

I don't know. That could be the first rough patch in our entirely fantastic love story.

I would still love him with a hillbilly name because he has shed the hillbilly essentiality that it ensconced.
